There seems to be either a trend or actual fact about appliance warranties like refrigerators with a three part declaration; something like 2-5 years on electronics, 10 years on the sealed refrigeration system (compressor, filter/drier, condenser and evaporator coils) and least mentioned - labor. And of course the obligatory up front fee for a service tech to show up whether or not any diagnosis is made. Unfortunately 'free parts under warranty' doesn't reveal the initial service charge/diagnostic/labor costs to replace any parts. My guess is with parts quality seemingly going downwards, replacing faulty parts with the same parts seems plausible. It may be that manufacturers service reps reaps profits from labor charges along with unscrupulous techs charging for supposedly free parts under warranty as manufacturers look the other way with consumers forced to file in small claims court to recoup costs.
